About Me

Tierra Verde Handmade Soap

I’m a wife, mom, and a self proclaimed soap nerd with an entrepreneurial spirit-living in Lubbock Texas, (a place best known for our expansive horizon, cotton,and as the birth place of Buddy Holly.)I guess you might say I’ve got a serious addiction to all things soap related. Come hang out, as I share my adventures in a world where chemistry meets art.

“Homemade soap feels good: soft, rich, enveloping, soothing. The lather is dense and penetrating rather than thin and airy. It leaves an emollient film on your skin that makes it feel soft and sensuous. Homemade soap is comforting in ways which manufactured soap can never be: its look, its weight, its bulk, how it feels in your hands, looks in its dish. There is something ineffable about homemade soap. It’s not homogenized, pasteurized, deodorized, sanitized or synthesized - it’s one of a kind, every bar different, each unique. It is idiosyncratic in the way of all homemade and handmade things.”

Frankincense and Myrrh will darken to a much deeper brown-ready for market in November

So, this was purely experimental a blend of Frankincense and Myrrh that is an eo/fo with resins. I don't usually soap with fo's at all, but authentic Frankincense and Myrrh are just a bit spendy for my pocketbook and I really wanted to try to get something close for the Christmas Holiday. I found this blend to be very nice with definite notes of the holy incense. The soap will darken quite a bit over the next few days and the scent is reminiscent of church pews,old paper,Midnight Mass, along with a wisp of holy resins and incense.
